General battery care

[JusticeKnuckles]

Hey guys, in every manuel I've thumbed through (video games, pv's, cameras, etc) they say to extend battery life you should always give it a full charge and use the device until the battery is drained (this is called conditioning a battery). Was curious what batteries everyone uses and if they practice battery conditioning? Thanks!

That is good advise for Ni-Cad batteries.

But e-Cigarettes do Not use Ni-Cad batteries. Most use Li-Ion batteriues. A small percentage use Ni-Mh batteries, mostly in mods.

Both Li-Ion and NiMh batteries like frquent charges and don't like to be fully drained before recharging.
